I bought this as something that i could use everyday. I did not want some huge racing boots when I go to work or school and this seemed perfect for me. It looks nice, does not look different from normal day to day shoes beside being a little big and its comfortable. The size fit perfectly and the quality is excellent. About month after I bought it I was involved in a 50 mpg high side on the back roads, and while the shoes were a little dinged up on the toe area, it did its job. It still wearable and beside the scratches in the metal toe area it is fine and I wear it everyday i ride.
